I purchased my Ork Bommer way back in 2003 at GamesDay and I am still working on it nearly four years later, though it did spend some time as an Epic Transport plane for a while…
It has taken a while but I have now finished the base coat…
You can see how (poorly) I filled the gaps in the model, however this is an Orky plane and I wouldn’t expect it to be perfect!
The next stage will be to give the whole thing a ink and paint wash.
I must get the Traktor painted as well for it.
I have been tidying up my Grey Knights.
I am trying to get them finished before I start on some more.
Having finished most of the metal bodywork on my Grey Knights Landspeeder I went and painted the purity seals using a Foundation Paint.
It covered the black undercoat really well compared to normal Citadel colour. There are quite a few on the model, I used the resin purity seals available from Forgeworld rather than make my own. You can make your own using paper and green stuff for the seals, but the Forgeworld ones are much easier to use and I think much better than I could do.
When I was editing the photographs for this blog entry I was quite pleased with the way the metal finish appeared (in close-up) on the Landspeeder body.
This was done with Boltgun Metal. I still need to add some highlights.
I have made some more progress with my Ork Bommer.
The under view.
It is getting there, but I keep getting sidetracked!

Really nice model.
Painting Orks takes time, so much time that I realised it had been some time since I last mentioned my Grey Knights Landspeeder (see work done so far here).
I got it out the other day and finished off the basecoat which was done in Boltgun Metal. Basically I did the left wing and the engine compartment doors.
The next stage was to do the purity seals.
As mentioned back in May Games Workshop (as part of Apocalypse) will be releasing an Ork Mek with a Supa-Shoota.
I have now found a picture of this new Ork which looks very menacing.
I think I will have to get one (and not two as I did with the Ork Kommando with Burna).
One of the nice extra parts for the Sisters of Battle Repressor is the large dozer blade. It consists of two parts; the blade and the attachment for attaching the blade to the hull.
The blade has some quite large sprue attachments which need to be removed with care.
If you don’t it can result in damage to the resin blade, luckily this is at the bottom of the blade.
The attachment had a fair bit of flash attached which needed to be cleaned.
I am going to paint this part separately, but to give you an idea on how the final Repressor will look here is as though the dozer blade was attached.
The next stage is doors, for which I think I may purchase some Rhino Inquisition doors from Forgeworld.

Here is my Forgeworld Ork Squiggoth advancing as seen in a recent game.
There are some Ork Burna Boyz in the howdah. This is not strictly legal from a rules perspective, but I do now and again bend rules to make for a different or more enjoyable game (and my usual opponent usually agrees to these).
